I try to install the starter pack in Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition. I also have SQL 2005 Express installed. I am using Microsoft XP Pro. I have IIS v.5.1 installed. I use the default installation and choose the “auto” setup for the site build. This is the following result.  I already gave ASPNET permission for the folder:

Then I get this error when I try to access the portal:
